Humphrey Lyttelton 1921-2008

With great sadness we announce the death of one of radio's greatest wits and musicians Humphrey "Humph" Lyttelton.

Revered for his sardonic wit and legendary double entendres, Humph chaired the Radio 4 panel show "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" to an adoring audience. He was also the first jazz musician to have a top twenty hit, remaining active on the stage right up to his death.

One of the true greats.

Scores 10 points for Dafyd.

Mark Speight: 1965-2008

Mark Speight, the well-known and mouch-loved rubber-faced children's TV presenter has been found dead in London. Suicide is suspected.

Speight, known for presenting the long-running television programme 'SMart', was said to have been depressed following the drugs-related death of his fiancee Natasha Collins, disappearing just days after the inquest into her demise.

A sad end to a cautionary tale of the dangers of drug misuse, Speight will be much missed by those in the entertainment industry.

Despite his recent illness HRH The Duke of Edinburgh remains off the prohibited list. The man is immortal, and making a mockery of this game.

Charlton Heston 1923-2008

Hollywood legend who won an Oscar for his performance in the classic Ben Hur, cementing his fame with a series of roles in Hollywood blockbusters.

As the age of the screen epic died, Heston reinvented himself, "daming them all to hell" in his memorable performance in Planet of the Apes.

Away from Hollywood, Heston courted controversy - and widespread acclaim - for his support and eventual figurehead position in the pro-gun National Rifle Association, famously declaring that the only way he'd give up his shooting irons would be to have them "pried from my cold, dead hands". A specialist team is doing just that as we speak.

Star, patriot, shooter. Dead.
